i am back my friends to share some thoughts with you. i have been having one of those weeks that i actually rarely have. i am a positive person. i always need to smile over things and try to look for the positive side of things that look like not that positive. for example, i am not debt free and yet i feel that i am fortunate to have enough money to pay everything every month and still be able to go out for dinner, movies, theater… i lost my job and saw it as an opportunity to invest this free time to build my business. but now that i have lost everything and need to start all over again… it feels harder.
i am also feeling tired. sometimes, even though we look like we are able to do everything, manage all what we wish to do, time goes by and we start to feel a bit tired of some things. though i still love what i do… i need a break. i need a break to think about what to do, how to do it… i need a break to embrace creativity… i need a break to empty my mind of worries and let fresh air come inside. i need a break for my wandering walks, without thinking about emails and posts. i need a break to plan things… i need a break to have new ideas. i need a break to feel relaxed and balanced with everything in my life.
so my friends, i just wanted to let you know that i will be taking this break for a few days… maybe until next monday. yes, i think that until next monday will be great. will be enough. in three weeks and two days i will be leaving for a short vacation with mr twiggs. i will be on an island near his hometown that is said to be a paradise. i cannot wait. i wish i was leaving tomorrow. but even with those days coming, i still need a break now. thank you so much for all your support. it means so much to me. i feel cherished by you… i need to get back at some of you with promised emails. i did not forget about you. i just need some time to think and answer you in a relaxed way. i know you understand this. and without further ado… here are some new photos from what may become a new series… the beach or the coastal series. i have to figure out the name.
have a lovely couple of days, sweet friends. i will be back!

Beautiful girl, just wanted to let you know you are not alone and we definitely all have times when everything is a bit tired, a bit overwhelming, just all a bit much and a break is much needed!!! I think perhaps now is the time we should do an interview with you on the Spoonful site – hopefully boost both you and some traffic! I have just learnt how to use recording software – so let’s book a time to skype and bring some business your way…
thea.

Eliana says
Relax as much as you can!!!
Don’t worry about anything, breath and let the ones who sorround you to give you their love and love back.
That should be all you need!!!
Enjoy,
Eliana

Por vezes as pausas mais que importantes são realmente necessárias, e muitas vezes existem sinais (algumas vezes ignorados por nós) que nos indicam que devemos parar. Espero que a sua pausa seja refrescante nas ideias e na criatividade e que ajude a recarregar baterias e seguir o seu caminho! Força! Não desista dos seus projectos e dos seus sonhos! Também estudei psicologia, não trabalho no que gosto, mas todos os dias tento dar um pequeno passo para abrir o meu negócio e realizar os meus projectos. Bom descanso! Isa

Good for you. Taking time to nurture yourself and your creativity is the most positive thing one can do when faced with adversity. I hope you find a little relief and renewed energy.
Ana Almeida says
Bom descanso! :)
Estaremos por aqui, ansiosas por novas trabalhos!
Concha says
É fundamental desligarmo-nos totalmente da internet de vez em quando. Ao contrário dos trabalhos ‘normais’, que têm hora de entrada, de saída e fins-de-semana, nos ’empregos virtuais’ estamos sempre ligados e disponíveis!
Sei que é difícil mas vai fazer-te bem.
Bom descanso!

Have a good and restful break. Everyone needs some “me” time from time to time…it’s good to recharge! Look forward to reading more when you return.

You might need more than few days and nothing is wrong with that. It means that you’re not a robot happy with a boring routine. I took a very long break recently, nearly a month. Blogging can become addictive. Living the real life is more important in my opinion.
Take care
Catherine
Isabel Marques says
não podia concordar mais contigo! o desligar é fundamental para revitalizar os sentidos!
Monica says
